Karabük, Industrial hub in Black Sea region, Turkey.
The city of Karabük sits along the Yenice River, surrounded by steel mills and manufacturing facilities that shape its industrial character.
Karabük emerged from a small hamlet of 13 houses into a significant urban center after the establishment of Turkey's first iron-steel complex in 1940.
The rapid industrialization of Karabük transformed the local population from agricultural workers into skilled industrial laborers throughout the twentieth century.
The railway line connecting Ankara to Zonguldak passes through Karabük, facilitating the transportation of coal and iron ore to local manufacturing facilities.
The Kardemir steel complex in Karabük produces materials using local dolomite and limestone while sourcing iron ore from Divriği and coal from Zonguldak.
